Fleet Activity Rule:All members are required to be active both in game and on the 12th Fleet forum.The maximum allowed period of inactivity is one month. Activity is verified by the "Last log in status", but it may not be limited to this if there is a serious suspicion that someone is avoiding detection by simply logging in and out.

Division activity rules:Divisions may make more stringent activity requirements, but they cannot increase the allowed period of inactivity beyond one month.

What is 12th fleet policy regarding sharing game accounts?:We will not stop you from doing so, it is your account. However, you are responsible for any misconduct that is done on your account. It is best not to share the fact that you are sharing your account, we really don't want to know. Please note that this is against the Cryptic Terms of Service.

Captain - All Captains (includes Command Advisors). Higher bank rights than Members, can invite to Fleet and promote to Member.

Member - All other Fleet ranks. Basic bank rights. Able to create Fleet Events.

Inactive - Placeholder rank that inactive members must be demoted to, this aids in removal from fleet.

Recruit - New members stay at this rank for 1 month before promotion to member. No bank or other Fleet rights.

Status:Before promotion to a Member it is required that each Recruit set his In-Game Fleet status to indicate his division. It is also a requirement to keep this information updated. This is important and helps with administration. Failure to comply with this request my result in accidental removal from the fleet (example: if someone check your old division roster and see that you are not on it).To access your fleet status, go to the fleet panel and select your name. You should be able to set your status from there.

What this rule is all about?:If a member breaks any of the rules or directives then the member will go through a series of “strikes”, each increasing in severity. Note that if someone just makes an honest mistake, then a warning may be given, but no strike.

Who can get strike?:All members are eligible for strikes including members of command.Additionally if a member of Command gets 2 strikes, he is instantly Demoted.Primarily, these Strikes will be given for flaming, trolling, or general abusive behaviour.

Violation that may be punished with a strike:Includes but not limited to these examples:

If 45 days pass and no more strikes are given, all strikes are removed. However, if a member has one strike, and has had it for 44 days, then breaks another rule (or the same one) then the timer is reset to 45 days, now with 2 strikes.

Handing out strikes:

The member’s Division VA (so a member in Engineering could not be given a strike by the VA of Medical)The Fleet Executive OfficerThe Fleet Admiral

Disputing a strike:Strikes can be disputed unless given by the Fleet Admiral.If your VA gives you a strike, you could take it up with The Fleet XO, or the Fleet Admiral. If the Fleet XO gives you a Strike, you can take it up with the Fleet Admiral. Note that if you do dispute it, and who you ask agrees with the verdict, you cannot dispute it further.Hierarchy: Fleet Admiral > Fleet XO > Vice Admiral

What is this all about:In extremely rare cases we have the responsibility to protect the community by quickly removing its members or removing a members communication privileges without going into Warnings or Strikes. Situations that require this drastic measure are extremely rare and even then the decisions are never made lightly.

Who may enact this rule:The Fleet Admiral, or the Fleet Executive Officer, when acting in the FA's stead, can place a member on Administrative Leave. This action is to be undertaken only when a member does something in which said members actions warrant such extreme circumstances, and actions by command.

What violations are serious enough to force this rule?:Includes but not limited to these examples:

Serious violation of multiple Directives

Serious discrimination of any kind

Performing illegal actions (in accordance to international standards)

Cheating

Using the name of 12th Fleet in own ill agenda

The Following conditions would then go into effect:

Members placed on Administrative Leave will effectively have their accounts on the 12th-Fleet Forums "Suspended" until an investigation can be properly conducted. This means that the only access that they will have is to their Active Case Sub-forum and limited use of PMs.

After placing a member on Administrative Leave, the FA (or the FXO if acting in the FAs stead), will immediately do the following:

Notify the Council of Admirals by creating a relevant post in the Admiral's Lounge, along with a PM to the Commanding Officers group.

Send a PM to the member in question and their Command Staff (as relevant), briefly explaining why the action was taken and letting them know of their rights and responsibilities. (See below).

Set up a thread for the current case in the Administrative Leave sub-forum.

The Member in question will have their in-game Rank set to Recruit and their 12th Chat access will be removed temporarily.

The CoA will then assign one or more members to investigate the case per existing IDRS standards.

In the case of multiple members being placed on Administrative Leave at the same time, the lead investigator may solicit additional assistance as needed, so as to guarantee sufficient time for each member to be treated fairly and as a unique part of the case.

Once assigned; the investigator, or lead investigator if more than one is needed/requested, will make contact with the member under investigation thus notifying them of who is conducting the investigation. This should be done as soon as possible, ideally within 24-48 hours if feasible.

If it looks like the investigation may require some time to conduct, this initial PM can include a reasonable time frame within which the member can expect to be granted a preliminary interview.

Remember, this step is primarily intended to inform the member that an investigator has been assigned to their case.

Members on Administrative Leave have the right to:

Immediate notification of why they have been placed on Admin Leave.

Fair and unbiased treatment.

Retain their dignity throughout the entire process.

Reasonable access to their Active Case.

Representation/Counsel if requested.

Expect to be kept informed on the progress of their case.

Timely responses to their questions.

Reasonably quick resolution of their case.

Appeal the results of their case per the current IDRS standards.

Voluntarily terminate the Case by leaving the Fleet.

Members on Administrative Leave have the responsibility to:

Provide civil cooperation with Command/Investigators.

Provide requested testimony and or answers to questions involving their Case in a timely manner.

Maintain confidentiality, even though it may not have been requested by Command/Investigators.

Continue to observe all Fleet policies throughout the investigation.

Abide by outcomes/resolutions of their case.

Possible Outcomes for Members on Administrative Leave:

Exoneration – Full access restored to in-game Fleet and the Forums.

Sanction(s) – One or Two Strikes; Dependent on nature and severity of the offence.

Dismissal – Removed from the in-game Fleet and the Forums.

What avatar should I choose?:When you get accepted to the fleet you should use an Ensign avatar corresponding to your assigned division.You can then wear this avatar until you have been promoted where you should then choose a different avatar that corresponds to your new rank.

Do I have to wear the proper divisional avatar:Yes; 12th Members are required to display the avatar that corresponds to their rank and division. Keeping your avatar updated at all times is your own responsibility. Only Approved Avatars are allowed to be used which are in the website gallery located Here
